The Stig is Michael Schumacher

22 Jun

In the first episode of season 13 of the popular British motoring show BBC Topgear, the identity of The Stig is revealed. The Stig is a recurring character in the show, the expert race driver that never shows his face. Its identity has been thoroughly speculated upon, with several names popping up and people saying there is more that one Stig.

Here’s the clip that shows The Stig removing his helmet and revealing that he is in fact Schumi:

Now why would they just reveal it like that and end the mistery around it? I’m guessing something else is going on and this is part of some marketing stunt. Let’s wait and see.

    I don’t really know what they pretend with it but in the past other guys claimed that they were the Stig. But let me say that I wasn’t that surprised. I also think that this subject is not finished yet. Jezza and the rest of the gang must be cookin’ something :P
